Oreo Cheesecake Bars Are Easy Peasy

This has to be one of the easiest desserts I’ve ever made!

I have to say upfront that regular Oreo cookies are not my favorite cookie. That’s possibly un-American, but sadly it’s the truth. This is a dessert I’d never have thought of making ordinarily.

A request for something with Oreos came from a friend of mine who is also one of my official food testers, or as I call them, “victims.” I often treat Bill and his two employees to Friday lunch and these guys are real foodies, so their input on new recipes is of invaluable help to me. So I was delighted to make him something he specifically asked for.

Incidentally, I tried a small slice of this and it’s really delicious!! Remember, I don’t care for Oreos, but everything seems to work well in this recipe, and I really liked this!!

Yes You Can Make It Healthier!

Made as-is, this probably packs a hefty calorie punch, but with the right substitutions, the calories and the fat can be somewhat reduced.

The first substitution would be neufchatel (also known as “reduced-fat cream cheese”) for the regular variety. I can honestly say I cannot tell the difference between neufchatel and full-fat cream cheese. Now that’s something because I tend to dislike the flavors of foods that have been monkeyed with to reduce calories/fat. However, that’s not the case here. Actually neufchatel is a cheese of itself, and isn’t a reduced-fat/calorie concoction. It’s been available for years, too.

Next up is the whipped topping. Using the reduced-fat or fat-free variety will save additional calories and fat grams.

You can use Splenda too for the sugar. According to some commentary I read on this recipe, quite a number of people substituted the Splenda with excellent results.

Finally, if you can find them, Nabisco used to make reduced-fat Oreos. I don’t know if they still do.  In fact, I haven’t seen them for ages, but bear in mind that I really wasn’t looking for them.

Want To Bake It?

You can do that too!

Probably the baked version will be a little lighter in texture because of the addition of one ingredient not in the no-bake version.

Directions for the baked version will be in the “Notes” section of the recipe card.

    I really like your note on no nutritional information added. I kind of got sucked into that whole thing but I don’t do all of my posts. First of all, I don’t believe all of the information is accurate. And if it tastes good then I’m not going to quibble about x amount of calories. I’m not an oreo fan either but this dessert really sounds good. Happy Sunday!

      I had a really BAD experience with a 3rd-party app about 3 years ago that soured me on doing that at all. In a nutshell, the site was hacked and as a result, anyone who visited my site got a malware warning and my site was blocked because of it. It took me all night to remove all the backlinks to that site and I said NEVER AGAIN. Anyhoo, my recipes are mainly “comfort” food loaded with fat & calories so there’s no point really and there’s other sites folks can get that info if they want it.

      This is pretty good too–and easy. I’m not a huge fan of Oreos but even I enjoyed this!
